Accessibility Guidelines vary depending who you ask, and I don't think there's any one clear answer. I must say that on the web (that is, screen media) I use and like "skip to content" and "skip navigation" links. Futhermore, the logical flow of most documents I see is header, body, footer. Make sure some of the sidebar shouldn't really be in the footer instead. (There have even been people saying the footer should contain a mini site map, and that it gets used more.) Once I do that, I find the sidebar/header is small enough that it can come first even without a link. If you're talking a "permanent" media, like print, I've yet to see a sidebar that shouldn't be display:none. YMMV, some people find sticking a link to every page on the server in a dropdown menu is helpful.
